Shutdown 2003 domain controller, Used new different name; same IP address on new 2012 DC - can I delete the old name object?

Greetings,
I promoted a 2012 domain controller, with new name and IP, shutdown the old DC and re-ip'ed new DC with old IP address.
after reboot everything is working fine. I would like to deleted the old DC object name from the AD. can I do so without interruption?
Thank you

Demotion using DCPROMO would have been the preferred way to go.
You should however be able to get away with deleting the computer object for the old DC using AD Users and Computers. The metadata cleanup is now included in the modern UI, so you shouldn't need to use NTDSUtil to do the cleanup of references to the
old DC.
I would also manually remove the NS record for the old DC from your DNS zone(s) as this is not handled by the object deletion.
Also, have a good look through the DNS records anyway and see if there are any references to the old name (A, SRV records) and delete them manually if you find some.

You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

How can I change my old Apple ID? I have a new one created but can't deleted the old one it's gray and u can't tap on it?

I'm able to use the new one even tho the old one is there? But can't delete the old one because it's frayed out n can't tap on it to change it to the new one

You will need to use that old Apple ID and password to update any apps you purchased using that account. So you will either need to recover that Apple ID, which if you forgot the password you should be able to reset here:

or you will need to delete all those apps and repurchase them using your current Apple ID.

If I create a new Apple ID and I delete the old one, Will I lose my purchases and data?

If I create a new Apple ID and I delete the old one, my books, songs, docs and all the data that my old Apple ID contained including my purchased Apps will appear in my new Apple ID and its associated Icloud?
I want to create a new Apple ID but do not lose my data and purchases, How could I do it?

Are you entering your Existing Email Address for which you have Access and also are you Entering the Password which Matches Apple Requirement ?
Enter the Email Address that you already have (like Gmail, Yahoo, MSN, Live, etc) but you have never used it for creating Apple ID before.
Passwork Requirement is Minimum 8 Characters, Alpha Numeric and Password should Content atleast 1 Upper Case and 1 Lower Case Letter. You will find the more detail on the same page when Creating Apple Id and iTunes will give you Error if the Password you enter does not match their requirement.

I want to update my applications I keep on entering the password and it keeps asking me about it and again I enter it and nothing happens although it is correct I can download new apps but can't update the old ones

I want to update my applications I keep on entering the password and it keeps asking me about it and again I enter it and nothing happens although it is correct I can download new apps but can't update the old ones

Then you will need the password for the old account in order to update the app.
apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase the app.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

So the answer to my question is yes - from an old Exchange account that was provided by a previous employer.
If so, you can't.
You can't merge or transfer contacts that were synced over the air with an Exchange account with another account, and the same for syncing the contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer. This is how most employers want it.

I changed my Apple ID but my iCloud didn't change to the new ID. If I delete the old iCloud will I lose all data on my iPod ?

- Go to Settings>iCloud. Scroll to to bottom of the screen and tap the delete button. The effect all the services listed in Settings>iCloud like Notes, Contact and Calendar.
- You may be offered the option to retain that data on the iPod. Otherwise it gets deleted.
It does not effect synced media like apps and music purchased with the account..
Note that purchases made with an Apple ID are locked to the ID that purchased them. To update apps you have to sing into the account that purchased them

My iPhone 4 has never backed up to anything, the account I started it with I never used. I now have a new icloud account, if I delete the old one will I lose my photos or will they still be on my phone?

My iPhone 4 has never backed up to anything, the account I started it with I never used so I was never able to verify it or anything. I now have a new icloud account and I want to backup my phone before I get a new one in a couple of days. If I delete the old account will I lose my photos or will they still be on my phone (remember they've never been backed up)? Thanks!

You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can just stop using it. If your photos are still on your phone now, then I suggest you do back them up. Transfer them from the phone into your iPhoto Library. iCloud only backs up your Camera Roll automatically. But the Camera Roll only contains new photos that were taken but not yet transferred using iTunes.

I have created a new profile and copied firefox files from my old computer into it. How do I switch to the new profile, do I just delete the old one?

I am running windows 7 I had to recover my files from an external hard drive when my old computer crashed. I have created a new profiles as outlined in the firefox website and copied all the files into it. I just need to know how to use this new profile when I open firefox, do I just delete the old profile? Or do I have to reinstall firefox.

If you no longer need or intent to use that older profile then you can use the Profile Manager to remove that profile and delete the files.

Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
[Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301]
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install CleanUp"). In the list of programs that appear in CleanUp, select any *Apple Software Update* entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

HT1420 My computer crashed, i have purchased a new one, how can i deauthorize the old computer without logging in on it?

My old computer crashed. I have purchased a new one but I cannot authorize it on my account until I delete the old. How can I do this since my old computer does not work?

You cannot... But...
If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

Due to a divorce all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I had to buy a new computer and want to transfer my Library to the new computer. How can I do this without using an external drive and use new computer just like I do the old one? Thanks.

Due to divorce, all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I have had to buy a new laptop and want to transfer the library to the new computer before deauthorizing the old one. I dont want to have to use an external drive every time I want to listen to my music. How can I do this and have the same basic iTunes setup as before? HELP!

You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

HT204053 Some reason my iCloud acct on my phone is set up to the 'me' account which I don't use, and my computer is set up to icloud using my regular email. So, nothing is streaming & connecting. Can I delete the iCloud acct on my ph & re-sign in using o

All of my apple items are registered to iCloud using one account. Then when I updated my phone to iOS 6, it automatically registered my phone to iCloud using my old mobile me email. So, my phone isn't streaming to computer, etc. Can I just delete the account on my phone and re-sign in using my other email to connect ALL my devices in iCloud without losing any information? Or how do I go about fixing this problem???? Thanks.

If you want to change iCloud accounts and keep your data go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account (or sign into your other existing iCloud account) using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
